Every day, parents of children with disabilities and chronic health conditions face struggles most of us cannot imagine. The pandemic increased these challenges for our families and requests for our services are at an all-time high.
Your investment in our work will help connect more families throughout our state with the resources and services they need to help their children lead rich, full lives with bright futures!
Meet Oliver Burgee
Living with Down syndrome is just one small part of Oliver’s journey. He dreams of becoming a fireman, whose job (according to him) includes saving cats, eating ice cream and passing out balloons to neighborhood children! Even in the face of uncertainty, Oliver’s bravery and strength are a source of courage and pride for his parents. Your donations connect families like the Burgees to the best resources for their children!
